Christmas

Christmas was pretty cool. We stayed up talking and watching movies until midnight when we opened up our gifts. I got Lizzy a pink Romo jersey and a cowboys t-shirt. I also got her a perfume she likes called Juicy Cotour. The name makes me laugh because Cotour is the name of a UFC fighter, and wouldn't call him juicy--well not to his face. The kids got jackets from their grandparents. Santa got Keila a piano/keyboard and little Alex two Tree House books. They both loved them. I got a got a set of large Craftsman screwdrivers from Mom, which is cool cuz she knows I like to work on cars. Lizzy got me a Halo hoodie, and with the help of my mother-in-law I got the bad ass T-Mobile Wing I had been wanting. It's pretty cool, it brings me back to about '02 when I bought my first pda. The phone/pda combo is freakin' awesome! This thing is the shit for internet access, I can actually surf the web and get whatever info I need with it. The most unexpected thing is how much faster my internet connection is with the Wing. I get consistent speeds of about 110kbps on my laptop. That's more than double the speed! I can also get a 6gb microsd card for about $70 and have near iphone capacity. More tomorrow on what else is going on.

Another nice X-Mas surprise:

I got a call from Gonzo and Chris, a couple of my closest buddies from my time in the Marines. Thanks for the call guys, keep checking back in with the blog and feel free to leave a comment.
